Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Raleigh - Durham Intl. Airport (RDU) to Midway Intl. Airport (MDW) last minute?
Being spontaneous is a great way to explore the globe, but it's not always the best method to grab a cheap plane ticket.

Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you arrive at your destination!
